Blessed am I
I've often complained about my "wretched life"and I've had my share of thanksgiving.
But more of the former, I do realise.
I'm happy today. Oh yes I'm happy today, in Jesus' name, I'm happy today. Because He's taken all my sins away, and that's why I'm happy today.
This is a song we used to sing in Junior Bible class. I've always sung it becoz we were told to sing it. I'm singing it today becoz it came from my heart.
Gal 5:22 - 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
These traits are the fruit of the spirit. I have only but little of each. Much to learn and much to grow.
The bible spoke of the greatest gift-- LOVE.
1 Cor 13:13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Love is a big word. Man possesses the inherent need for love. Man yearns for love. Man would do anything for love. Yet, man cannot find the ultimate meaning of love. Until he has found God.
But even so, what is Love?
1 John 4:8
- He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
If I say this to a non-believer. He'll probably look at me and think nothing of it. Perhaps even scorn at my belief.
"Who is God? Does he even exist??? If He does, then where is He? Look at the calamity upon earthlings. Look at all the evil here on earth. This is the maliciousness he's created. God. Ha!"
But God is Love. I see it in the goodness of ppl around me. I see it in my mom. I see it in brethrens from church. I see it in other ppl. I see God's love for even the beasts of the fields, the birds of the air and all His wonderful creations around me.
And I love myself. For I am God's creation. I love myself, and I love the people around me. I have not mastered having compassion for ALL. At the very least, I love my family and friends. I am thankful for them.
To someone whom I truly admire... For her strength and perserverance, individuality and wisdom... and for being a friend...
Perhaps one day, U'd be too weary of life's tortuous road.
Perhaps on day, U'd be questioning if life's meaning is of existence at all.
Perhaps one day, U'd feel like giving up.
Perhaps one day, when u feel all alone...
Know that, He is always there for you.
Know that, His love is never changing, measureless and strong.
Know that, He is Forever.
Know that, in Him u'd find strength to carry on.
Know that, there's at least a friend who cares.
Someday, you'll find no sorrow ever touching your heart.
Someday, you shall never be afflicted with ailments and pain.
Someday, each step u take is light and cheery.
Someday, no tears shall reach your eyes.
Someday, eternal rest in His arms you shall be.
Forever and for Always.
Perhaps if we look towards the beautiful home over there, everything will be worth it all.
Stay strong! Know that life here is only temporary. And I'll just be a phonecall away if u need me :)
